• Visitors encounter an 18-foot stainless steel statue of Superman in flight, bronze figures of Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster and Joanne Siegel, and a phone booth housing Clark Kent’s clothes and glasses.
• Laura Siegel Larson, daughter of Jerry and Joanne Siegel, and Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne spoke at the ceremony, highlighting the creators’ legacy and the plaza’s role in boosting civic pride.
